About

I make award-winning documentaries that start conversations. This year The Essex Millionaire Murders was dubbed ‘as good as true crime gets’ and with 3.1 million viewers in the first 7 days, it is ITVX’s biggest ever documentary. Last year Sarah Everard: the Search for Justice (BBC 1) also aired to critical acclaim and was watched by over 4 million people making it the most popular doc of 2024 (on any broadcaster/streamer) and was nominated for a Rose D'Or award.

Bad Host: Hunting the Couchsurfing Predator for Sky Documentaries was filmed across the US and Europe with reviews describing it as ‘Tinder Swindler but even darker’ and ‘horrific but compelling’. The Bambers: Murder at the Farm for Sky Crime was exec-produced by Louis Theroux and the Independent said 'with every layer the documentary peels away, the Bambers become more fascinating.' With both series I pushed the boundaries of conventional recon experimenting with mixture of high end and DV formats for Bad Host and my team picked up a RTS Craft nomination for our original model making in The Bambers.

I have also worked with Louis Theroux in front of the camera on The Night in Question for BBC2 with the Telegraph giving it 5 stars. Journey with my Daughter follows Prue Leith and Li-Da on a mother-daughter road trip in Cambodia, the FT gave it 5 stars calling it a 'a gripping and heartbreaking return to roots'.

Boris Johnson referred to me as his 'stalker' during the filming of Boris Johnson: Blond Ambition. My team captured the moment he recited a Rudyard Kipling Poem in Shwedagon Pagoda whilst tolling a giant bell. I have made several films for Channel 4’s Unreported World strand and won an RTS and Foreign Press Association Award for Tracking Down Macedonia’s Refugee Kidnap Gangs with journalist Ramita Navai.
